Having readonly properties with mutable objects is quite common. For example https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#request `headers` https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-document-head https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-dataset https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-classlist https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-attributes https://drafts.csswg.org/css-font-loading/#dom-fontfacesource-fonts ...etc. So I think it doesn't follow that just because the object is mutable, the attribute must also be writable. What is the use case for assigning the points in a `DOMQuad`? I can think of a downside to changing them to be writable: code that assigns new points all the time (e.g. every animation frame) instead of assigning the primitive values on the points themselves would create a lot of garbage. -- GitHub Notification of comment by zcorpan Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/fxtf-drafts/issues/124#issuecomment-290645482 using your GitHub account
